The revision clarifies the diagnosis and management of lesions at the very early stages of lymphomagenesis, refines the diagnostic criteria for some entities, details the expanding genetic/molecular landscape of numerous lymphoid neoplasms and their clinical correlates, and refers to investigations leading to more targeted therapeutic strategies.
Targeting B cell receptor signaling with ibrutinib in diffuse large B cell lymphoma

The selective development of ibrutinib for the treatment of ABC DLBCL is supported, with the highest number of responses occurred in ABC tumors that lacked BCR mutations, suggesting that oncogenic BCR signaling in ABC does not require B CR mutations and might be initiated by non-genetic mechanisms.
Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib (PCI-32765) has significant activity in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies.
Ibrutinib, a novel BTK-targeting inhibitor, is well tolerated, with substantial activity across B-cell histologies, consistent with the irreversible mechanism.

Ibrutinib shows durable single-agent efficacy in relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma and is enrolled into two groups: patients who had previously received at least 2 cycles of bortezomib therapy and those who had received less than 2 complete cycles.
Ibrutinib in previously treated Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.

- 8 April 2015
Ibrutinib was highly active, associated with durable responses, and safe in pretreated patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, and the effect of MYD88 and CXCR4 mutations on outcomes was investigated.
Brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) in patients with relapsed or refractory systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma: results of a phase II study.

- 20 June 2012
Targeted therapy with this CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin may be an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory systemic ALCL and warrants further studies in front-line therapy.
PD-L1 and PD-L2 Genetic Alterations Define Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma and Predict Outcome.
There was an association between PD-L1 protein expression and relative genetic alterations in this series and further analyses of 9p24.1 alterations in patients treated with standard cHL induction regimens or checkpoint blockade are warranted.
Dose-adjusted EPOCH-rituximab therapy in primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma.

- 10 April 2013
Therapy with DA-EPOCH-R obviated the need for radiotherapy in patients with primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma and these patients were in complete remission after follow-up.
Long-term follow-up of MCL patients treated with single-agent ibrutinib: updated safety and efficacy results.

- MedicineBlood
- 6 August 2015
With longer follow-up, ibrutinib continues to demonstrate durable responses and favorable safety in relapsed/refractory MCL and is approved for patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have received one prior therapy.
